Episodes

The Season 24 premiere features the Chris Hegedus-D.A. Pennebaker film "Kings of Pastry," about the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France pastry competition in Lyons. The contestants rate among the world's top dessert chefs; and create everything from cream puffs to wedding cakes. In the final, they hand-carry delicate sugar sculptures to a display area. Participants include Regis Lazard, who sadly dropped his sculpture the year before; and Jacquy Pfeiffer of the French Pastry School in Chicago.

"My Perestroika" chronicles Russian life pre- and post- the USSR's collapse through the eyes of five schoolmates who grew up during the Brezhnev era. "It was childhood, so it was a happy time," one says of those repressive, economically stagnate years. Their world began to change in 1986, however, when Mikhail Gorbachev launched the glasnost and perestroika initiatives, and then turned upside-down after the Soviet Union's 1991 breakup. Archival footage and home movies accent the insightful film.

In "Sweetgrass," filmmakers Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor chronicle the waning days of the American West's traditional sheepherders via the story of a Montana sheep rancher who grazes his herd on public land north of Yellowstone. Along with family members and hired hands, he drives the sheep to and from the location in much the same way that his forebears did, though equipped with a such modern items as four-wheelers, cell phones and walkie talkies.

"Enemies of the People" investigates the Khmer Rouge slaughter of two million Cambodians from 1975 to 1979. Journalist Thet Sambath, whose family members were among the dead, talks with low-level perpetrators and Khmer Rouge "Brother No. 2" Nuon Chea, who was second only to Pol Pot in the party structure. The documentary has been honored at more than 20 film festivals, including with the World Jury Special Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

"Biblioburro, the Donkey Library" tells the story of rural Colombian schoolteacher Luis Soriano, who brings a book library to children in the northern back country every weekend via two donkeys. The trek is an arduous one that requires him and his burros to brave nearly impassible trails and face such dangers as snakes, guerrillas and bandits.

"Mugabe and the White African" relates the story of white Zimbabwe farmer Mike Campbell, whose farm---which he purchased after the country's independence in 1980---has been targeted by strongman Robert Mugabe's government for confiscation as part of the country's land-redistribution program. The documentary details Campbell's efforts to save his farm by taking his case to an international court, a process that proves frustrating due to several delays, as well as his run-ins with Mugabe's thugs.

"Steam of Life" offers a glimpse into the lives of Finnish men via the national obsession with saunas. Men from across Finland show off their saunas and talk about themselves, including their hopes, dreams, disappointments and fears.

Short films are featured. Included: David Wilson's "Big Birding Day," about competitive birdwatching; "Flawed," Andreas Dorfman's animated take on her relationship with a plastic surgeon; Marcin Janos Krawczyk's "Six Weeks," about a new mother in Poland contemplating giving up her baby for adoption; Beverly Morris' animated "Tiffany," about a divorce battle over a lamp; "Miss Devine," about a Sunday-school teacher; "No More Questions," in which a grandmother shares stories from her life.

"Better This World" tells the story of Bradley Crowder and David McKay, two boyhood friends from Midland, Texas, who were arrested on domestic terrorism charges prior to the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul. The documentary chronicles their transformation from political neophytes to alleged terrorists, which was encouraged by an FBI informant; and examines how the War on Terror has impacted civil liberties and political dissent.
